Are geared centre columns a no no introducing too much vibration? I have a series 4 Gitzo traveller, scopetech mount and mak 127. Guessing the weight on the tripod is circa 5kg and happy to report virtually no vibration. Even when using slow motion controls (first time tonight) the image settles in a fraction of a second. But I continue to find it a chore adjusting the individual legs on the tripod to get a comfortable viewing height (plus dangerous as I get lazy and often try to do with the scope still attached). A geared centre column looks like a convenient fix but would this render the views too unstable?
